The ASTM is calling for papers for the 19th International Symposium on Zirconium in the Nuclear Industry, taking place 19-23 May 2018, in Manchester, UK. The symposium is sponsored by the ASTM International committee on reactive and refractory metals and alloys.
The aim of the symposium is to provide a forum for exchanging new information on traditional and new zirconium-based materials used in the nuclear industry. Appropriate topics for papers include, but are not limited to, the following:
- basic metallurgy
- processing and fabrication
- alloy development
- mechanical behavior
- primary fuel failure mechanisms
- degredation mechanisms of failed fuel
- corrosion and hydriding
- in-reactor performance
- irradiation effects.
To participate in the symposium, authors must submit a 250-300 word preliminary abstract no later than 16 March 2018.
